The inverse square law in electrostatic is |F|=(e^(2))/((4pi epsi_(0))*r^(2)) for the force between an electrona nd a proton. The ((1)/(r)) dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the particle of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass m force would be modified to |F|=(e^(2))/((4pi epsi_(0))r^(2))[(1)/(r^(2))+(lambda)/(r)] exp(-lambdar) where lambda=(m_(p)c)/(h) and h=(h)/(2pi) .

Two beams A and B, of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam A and has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero intensity). A rotation of polaroid through 60^(underset(-)(o)) makes the two beams appear equally bright. if the initial intensities of the two beams are I_(A) and I_(B) respectively then (I_(A))/(I_(B)) equals.
